PALM BEACH, Fla. -- President-elect Donald Trump on Monday tapped another billionaire businessman for an administration job, naming Army veteran and fellow New Yorker Vincent Viola to be his secretary of the Army.Trump had meetings planned with a group of businessmen and former U.S. government officials as he sought to fill other posts, including that of U.S. trade representative. He met with Robert Lighthizer, a former deputy U.S. trade representative in the Reagan administration, an official said.Viola, Trumps choice to be the civilian head of the Army, is a West Point graduate who joins a list of former military men already chosen for the Cabinet. Trumps picks for defense secretary, homeland security secretary, national security adviser and deputy national security adviser are retired military.In a written statement, Trump praised Viola, the son of Italian immigrants, as living proof of the American dream and someone who has a lengthy history of engagement with national security issues.Viola grew up in Brooklyn, the first member of his family to attend college. He was trained as an Airborne Ranger infantry officer and served in the 101st Airborne Division. A lawyer, he started multiple businesses and bought the Florida Panthers hockey team for $250 million in 2013.Trump announced his choice for Army secretary from Mar-a-Lago, the Palm Beach, Florida, estate where he was spending the holidays with his family and working on the transition. It came as electors in all 50 states were meeting to formally elect him president, paving his way to take office on Jan. 20.Viola would join a circle of wealthy businessmen Trump has chosen for the administration, including fast food executive Andy Puzder to lead the Labor Department, billionaire investor Wilbur Ross for Commerce, financier Steven Mnuchin as treasury secretary and Goldman Sachs President Gary Cohn as his top economic adviser.More open posts remain. Trump was also meeting Monday with Thad Allen, the retired Coast Guard commandant who oversaw the federal response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005.R. Donahue Peebles, board chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, also had an appointment with Trump. Peebles is also founder, chairman and CEO of Peebles Corp., a real estate development and investment company.J. Christopher Reyes, co-chairman of Reyes Holdings, a Chicago-based beer and food distributor, was also on Trumps meeting schedule for Monday, said Trump spokesman Jason Miller.Meanwhile, Vice President-elect Mike Pence was holding transition meetings in New York, including a foreign policy discussion with Henry Kissinger, who was secretary of state under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford.On Sunday, some of Trumps closest advisers pushed back against Democrats complaints that Russia had hacked into their private emails this election season in a bid to sow discord among their supporters and sway the election toward Republicans.Lets assume its true, Reince Priebus, Trumps incoming chief of staff, said of Russian interference in the election. Theres no evidence that shows that the outcome of the election was changed because of a couple dozen John Podesta emails that were out there.The number of leaked emails by Podesta, Hillary Clintons campaign manager, was actually closer to tens of thousands. And itd be difficult to prove exactly what influenced voters.Democrats said the hack was a personal attack and a threat to democracy.The emails were weaponized, said Donna Brazile, interim chair of the Democratic National Committee. The committees emails were also hacked and publicly exposed. The release of stolen, hacked emails caused a lot of confusion and of course it disrupted our daily campaign life.Trump has previously deemed ridiculous the intelligence communitys finding of Russian involvement.---AP White House Correspondent Julie Pace and Associated Press writer Anne Flaherty in Washington contributed to this report.---Follow Darlene Superville on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/dsupervilleapDamien Wilson Super Bowl Jersey .

Jian Uzi Zi-Hao has made the Summoners Cup Finals twice in his career -- losing to Korean clubs SK Telecom T1 (2013) and Samsung White (2014) -- but this might be the best team he has ever played on if it can reach its full potential.Royal Never Give Up was embarrassed by Chinese rival Edward Gaming in the domestic summer finals, but they have looked like a new team since arriving in San Francisco for the Worlds group stages, defeating North American champion Team SoloMid on opening day before running Splyce out of the building on Friday in a one-sided shellacking.ESPN caught up with Uzi minutes after his teams blowout win over Europes third-place side.Im satisfied with our performance in the bottom lane today, Uzi said. Weve been getting good champion picks, and our jungler has been protecting us consistently.While doing scrimmages [in boot camp] we were under a lot of pressure. We were not performing very well during scrims. And if were talking about which [western region] team [gave us the most trouble] it would be TSM.When asked how he would compare the two teams and the teams bottom lanes, he said he really couldnt because of how the teams are structured. While Royal funnels a lot of their resources into the bottom lane, TSM are primarily based around protecting and getting the mid lane going.I think actually TSM will be the first team to get out of the group, he said. After the first two days, TTSM is 1-1 compared to RNGs 2-0 with a win over the NA champion.dddddddddddd [TSM] is pretty strong overall, and I think we will go to the quarterfinals together with them.Uzis bottom lane support partner is no stranger to the Chinese prodigy. Cho Mata Se-hyeong was Uzis opponent in his second Summoners Cup Final as part of Samsung White two years ago. Although Uzi was able to pick up a win in the series, unlike in his 2013 final against SK Telecom T1, Mata eventually prevailed and was given the MVP award for the entire split. Chinese fans hope that under Matas leadership, Uzi, Royal and China as a whole can finally win its first Summoners Cup.From a team-play perspective, Mata is passionate about the game and has a lot of knowledge to share with others. He always gives us a lot of [good] insight on the game, said Uzi about his once-rival turned comrade. [Personally] Mata is an interesting person. He is fun and cool. When we watch movies, he always makes [funny] noises. He gets really excited.Two finals. Two second-place finishes. To end the interview, I asked him which team hed like to see facing off with him for the Summoners Cup if he is able to get to a third final.I wish to play against a team from NA or EU or [any] other region, said Uzi, laughing. Probably not Korea. ' ' '
